Our editorial line
Glitz's editorial line has one goal: to reveal the inner workings of the luxury industry.
As an outsider in the sector, Glitz doesn't follow the traditional script: it provides insider information in an industry where communications are carefully curated.
The quality of the exclusive information unearthed by our journalists is what makes Glitz stand out from the pack. Glitz's privileged access to the highest levels of luxury decision-making ensures that our readers receive cutting-edge information, allowing them to stay one step ahead of the competition and anticipate strategic challenges.

Glitz's story
Glitz was created in response to a simple realisation: despite the major economic role that the luxury industry plays, at the time of Glitz's creation, there was no independent coverage of its strategic implications.
Jan. 2021
After eight years serving as editor-in-chief of Intelligence Online and two years at Africa Intelligence, Philippe Vasset set the stage for this new investigative publication, taking up the reins as Editor-in-Chief.
29 Sept. 2022
Glitz was launched to great fanfare during Paris Fashion Week. It garnered considerable attention, even catching the eye of the New York Times. To mark the occasion, Glitz distributed print editions of its exclusive investigation on Chanel at Fashion Week events.
Jan. - Sept. 2023
Throughout the year, Glitz's team grew, with the addition of three journalists: Noëmie Leclercq, Léo Durin and Zélie de Crécy.
Nov. 2023
The luxury industry's most influential figures often operate outside of the spotlight. With this in mind, Glitz decided to home in on these little-known yet powerful people in its newest section, Front Row.
Sept. 2025
After three years of existence and buoyed by the success of its investigations, Glitz became a biweekly publication. In addition to its tried-and-true sections covering luxury's emblematic families and their houses and its portraits of industry figures, Glitz inaugurated two additional long-term editorial sections: Golden Miles and Counterfeiters.

[email protected]Hard-hitting investigation
Our publications cover industries in which information tends to be hard to come by. Our aim is to gain access to networks of power and influence, whether that be in economic or political spheres. Our strategic information is exclusive, rigorous, impartial and designed for a discerning readership.
Total independence
Our total financial independence ensures our editorial independence. Indigo Publications is entirely owned by its management and staff, refuses all advertising and takes part in neither consulting nor events. Our readers are our only clients.
Indigo Publications, founded in 1981 by Maurice Botbol and currently run by Quentin Botbol, draws on a foundation of significant investments and growth to continue its development. To ensure economic transparency, we publish our financial statements every year. In 2024, due to a boom in our number of readers, our revenues rose by 10% to €10.2 million.
